Repeating Courses

A student who attempts a course with the same content more than twice at TWU will pay tuition for that course at the out-of-state rate.

Effective Fall 2009, the higher grade will be counted.

The repeat-course tuition penalty applies only to courses that are not generally repeatable for additional credit.

Developmental courses are not subject to this rule unless the student takes more than 18 hours of developmental coursework.

Students are not billed for out-of-state tuition at the time they register; they are billed after the census date. The rule is based on being enrolled in courses above the hours limit on or after the census day [12th class day in long semesters and 4th day in summer classes].

Transfer courses are not counted, only courses taken at TWU for the repeat course rule.

If a student must repeat a course in the final semester before graduation in order to meet (GPA) graduation requirements, that student may be exempt from nonresident tuition resulting solely from the repeat course rule.

Detailed description of the policy is found on the Bursar's website. That description is the official policy statement.
